AS HEARD ON THE SHOW

Rollin, rollin, rollin.  Keep movin, movin, movin,
Though they’re disapprovin, keep them doggies movin Rawhide!

Don’t try to understand ‘em, just rope and throw and grab ‘em, soon we’ll be living high and wide.
Boy my heart’s calculatin.  My true love will be waitin, be waitin at the end of my ride.

Move ‘em on, head ‘em up, head ‘em up, move ‘em out,
Move ‘em on, head ‘em out Rawhide!
Set ‘em out, ride ‘em in ride ‘em in, let ‘em out, cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in Rawhide.


COMPLETE VERSION

Rollin, rollin, rollin,  Rollin, rollin, rollin.
Rollin, rollin, rollin,  Rollin, rollin, rollin Rawhide!

Rollin, rollin, rollin,
Though the streams are swollen.  Keep them doggies rollin’ Rawhide!

Rain and wind and weather.  Hell-bent for leather. Wishin my gal was by my side.
All the things I’m missin.  Good vittles, love, and kissin are waiting at the end of my ride

Chorus
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up.  Head ‘em up, move ‘em on.  Move ‘em on, head ‘em up Rawhide
Count ‘em out, ride ‘em in.  Ride ‘em in, count ‘em out.  Count ‘em out, ride ‘em in Rawhide!

Keep movin, movin, movin.  Though they’re disapprovin keep them doggies movin Rawhide!
Don’t try to understand ‘em, just rope, throw, and brand ‘em.  Soon we’ll be living high and wide.
My hearts calculatin.  My true love will be waitin,  Be waitin at the end of my ride.
Rawhide!  Rawhide!
